ZOROASTRIANISM. The ancient religion of Persia is only referred to once in the Qurʾān, [Sūrah xxii. 17], as the religion of the Majūs (المجوس‎), the Magians. Most Muḥammadan writers, especially amongst the Shīʿahs, believe them to have formerly possessed a revelation from God which they have since lost. [[AL-MAJUS].]
